Members Arjae Posted October 11, 2005 Members Share Posted October 11, 2005 Not if you rub a little bit of a mixture of saw dust, rubber cement and flax seed oil on the housing. You also might want to put the pedals that use the regular cables up on a nest of wooden popsicle sticks. EJ would then approve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you move pedals around the George Ls ARE the weakest link. I'm going to have to start rolling my own again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Narcosynthesis Posted October 13, 2005 Members Share Posted October 13, 2005 Andi nailed it, your signal cant be any better than through the cheapest cables, so if they suck out all the tone, there aint nothing george l's can do except make sure it cant get sucked away any more how much it will actually matter is a different thing, cables tend to suck most of the tone over longer lengths, so short lengths of a lwer quality cable shouldnt harm it too much, if you are using lotf of cheap cables it will add up - 6 inches per cable, so it can easily add up between pedals into more substantial lengths, i think a lot of the bonus of george l's on pedalboards is the size of them - letting you squeese everythign togethr a bit more nicely) and the fact you cando custom lengths, to exactly suit what you need, though the sound part is one good factor David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
